EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell acknowledged that on June 24, the G7 foreign ministers agreed not to publicly comment on the rebellion of Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin. About this, according to Kommersant, he wrote in his blog.
Borrell explained that this was done to prevent Moscow from blaming the West for what had happened. According to him, lessons should be learned from what happened in Russia on June 23-24.
Recall that on June 23, Yevgeny Prigozhin announced a “march of justice”, characterized by the Russian authorities as an armed rebellion. PMC fighters established control over military facilities in Rostov-on-Don and entered several Russian regions with military equipment. On the evening of June 24, it was reported that the situation was resolved through the mediation of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
Prigozhin assured that his fighters turned the columns and went to the field camps.
The Russian authorities promised to close the criminal case against Yevgeny Prigozhin and not to prosecute the rebels.
